The principle of limited liabi'ity is now fully recognised and adopted by the investing portion of the public. Perhaps there is no class of institutions to which thar principle has been more successfully app ied than to the recently esta blished financial companies ; and although large capitals have been subscribed for this purpose, it cannot be denied that there still remains a wide field open for the profitable e mployment of capital both in English and foreign enter prises. This Crmpany has already promises of a large amount of support, and a provis , onal agreement has been entered into for acquiring a valuable railway concession, with a Govern ment guarantee. Negotiations are also pending for securing business arising from several undertakings, which will mate rially contribute t , the success of the company. It is intended that the shareholders in this company shall, so far as may be practicable, have the priority in applications for shares in the various enterprises which maybe introduced under its auspices, The operations to be carried on by the company will be the same as tho.e embraced by similar institutions. The active management of the company will be conducted by an executive committee, under the supervision and contro of the Board 0! Directors. Two of the proposed Committe have been many years successfully engaged in financial cperations, and as an earnest of their confidence in the permanent success of the Company, ht,ve agreed to hold shares in the capital to a large extent, an to be only remuivrated for their services by receiving a portion of the profits after paying interest to the shareholders at the rate of five percent. upon the paid-up capital. The directors will receive such remuneration as may be determin d upon by the shareholders at the general meet ings. There will be no fees paid to promoters for originating the Company, but arrangements have been made whereby the preliminary expenses have been guaranteed not to exceed one-half per cent. upon the first capital. More than one-half of the capital has alvady been applied for, and the business of the Corot any will be commenced immediately after the a l'Ament of the shares. The articles of association can be seen on applying at the temporary offices of the Company. Applications for shares. in the annexed form, to be made to the Brokers or Secretary. If more shares are applied for than are allotted the surplu of the deposit, on applic Won, will be applie{l towards the ayment of the further deposit on the shares allotted.

This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a Railway from Ch.asso to Biasca in the Canton of Tessin, Switzerland, with the design of extending tha line Coir to Lucerne, by the Alpine Pass o f the St. Gothard, or to e by the Pass of the Luckmanier. The line now to be made from Chias o to Biasca is indis nensable to either of these routes, it bar , the only line al lowed by the Swiss Government to connect the rai North Italy, the line being, comparatively easy of c,onstruc don, free from costly works, and promising a large traffic. .ways of The Company has, however, secured from Lehith anto i nn Tessin, bes des the concession of t he line from sso ! ys of Blasco, the preferential right to c onstruct the extension wa of their line to any junction with the system peculiarly rail etraluroe, whether at Lucerne or at Coiand this advantageous condition forms a very important feature of the present enterprise. State subventions to a very considerable amount have been voted in aid of t e proposed Alpine Railway, whic h is se know.ethled to be of the highest national importance to both Switzerland and Italy. The lines proposed by this Company will comp the shortest overland route to India and China across the centre of Europe, and will effect a saving of three days' sea naviga tion. As the line from Chia s o to Bias c a, which is i directntemnded to a in the Lombardo-Ven lines, wilt open com unication b tween theetian most important towns of the Canton Tessin and the railway network of Italy, connecting also the and m three Lakes of Co mo, Lulano, a n -- —ag,iore, a nd as it turms toe key of the whole po4tion. the Directors have reso ved to commence this line forthwith, pending the surveys and ne gotiations for determining - the precise Alpi,e Vass to be finally, adopted for the extension. Responsible contrac ors have undertaken to construct and complete the line for a sum within the amount , of capital ; an d he works w ere commenced on the 18th of January, in the present e of Government officials.

Le , 0 . ./_, from the beginning done all we can to eseist C.a& a S stronger party, and disoblige the Power which, being confined to its borders and struggling for ef.- istence, has scant opportunity of vindicating its rights abroad. The oppressive power of the execu tive has been exerted a rot/trance in the seizure and detention of the steam rams of the Messrs. Leird, during the seven months since the beginning of last September, and in the prosecution which has driven from court to court the owners of the Alexandra, at enormous cost to them and with impunity to their persecutors. No case can be established against the Alexandra, no eiidence has been diticeverea which can fairly implicate the builders of the El Tousson and El Mon aesir. These proceedings ere in open deflan-e of the rights of B:itish citizens, they have been denounced es without legality and without ex case. The Government perseveres ia them, and Par liament hes refused to condemn them. What are the rights of Englishmen when put in comparison with the respect which is owing to the high and mighty potentate who sits like Arimanes on his throne in the northern Pandemonium ? To please him the sailing of the Alabama has been deplored as a cala mitous event, and a law officer of the Crown, from his place in Parliament, has stooped to use language which may well be understood by the Federal Go vernment as implying a promise of full compensa tion to be paid by us for her ravages on Northern commerce. We strain to the limits of its tether the elastic Foreign Enlistment Act to oblige the Fede rale. Public men, when urging respect to it, speak of it as if a municipal enactment were actually part and parcel of international law. But how do we carry out its provisions when it is the Confederates and not the Federals who are to be served by our loyalty ? Is it not a fact that thousands of wretched Irishmen have been cajoled into emigra tion by Northern agents, and impressed into the Federal army, almost immediately on landing at an American port ? Has it not been proved that the Irishmen who were induced by an American consul to go on hoard the Kearsage, were regularly examined by the surgeon of the ship, and enlisted as sailors, and when brought back to Queenstown, at the urgent instance of Mr. Adams, were delivered up to the authorities in the Federal uniform, with which the too-confiding captain had suffered them to be clothed ? The case of the Gibraltar, at Liver pool, is another flagrant iestance in point. It has been stated that an official of the Government, the collector of Customs at the pornrefused to allow two heavy guns to be shipped, for fear lest they should fall into the hands of the Confederates ; that at the same time he volunteered the admission that if they had been intended for the Federals it would have been another thing altogether, as shipments of guns to Northern ports were matters of constant occur rence. This statement has never been denied. It seems that from the Premier and the Foreign Secretary down to the very lowest subordinate of the Administration, all are leagued in a disgraceful conspiracy to strain the laws as much as possible in favour of the North, and to deny to the South that simple justice which it demands. The circum stance attending the dismissal of the British cone saris in Southern cities were brought forward last night by Lord Clanricarde in the House of Lords. The policy of habitually ignoring the authority of the Confederate Government on its own territory was never pushed more outrageously than when the representatives of the British Government, and the guardians of British interests at Charleston, Mobile, and Richmond, as well as at New Orleans, were re garded as subject to the exequatur of the Northern Government, which had lost all authority at these places. If precedent had been wanted the example of Mr. Canning would have been sufficient, who ac credited consuls to the South American revolutionary governments long before their independence had been formally recognised. In choosing to pursue an exactly contrary plan Lord Russell made the posi tion of these British consuls so difficult that it was almost insufferable. While pretending to protect Englishmen in the ports where they resided, they were forbidden to enter into relations of any sort with the Confederate Government of the place. Thus Mr. Bunch, the consul at Charleston, at tempted to forward dispatches to his Government by way of New York, where his messenger was seized and thrown into prison. Mr. Seward apolo gised for the outrage, but withdrew his exequatur from the consul, whose functions thereupon ceased by desire of the British Foreign Minister. It is dif ficult to see how the exequatur of the Northern Government should have been in any way necessary to him in his altered position. Consul Moore, at Richmond, was very properly dismissed by the Government of Mr. Davis, for having been guilty of disrespect to the Confederate authorities, and advised British subjects who had been enlisted to desert when in face of the enemy. But the treat ment of Mr. Magee at Mobile is perhaps the most glaring act of injustice of which Lord Russell has been guilty in his dealings with the South. He was called upon in 1862 to facilitate the shipment of some money due from the state of Alabama to its creditors in England. He wrote to his col league at New Orleans suggesting that an Eng lish ship of war should call at the port of Mobile and take charge of the specie. Mr. Mure ape proved of the plan, and the Vesuvius pat in at Mobile for the purpose. The consent of Commodore Hitchcock, of the blockading squadron, was mean while obtained for the shipment. It seems that the day after the shipment, and when the Vesu vius had sailed, a letter was received from Lord Lyons forbidding itias an infraction of the block ade. When the transaction came to hia know ledge, Lord Lyons, supposing that his orders had been disobeyed, wrote in complaint to Lord Rue. sell, who at once summarily dismissed Mr. Magee. Lord Lyons acted through a fatal misunderstand ing, and both he and Lord Russell owe the fullest reparation to an able and honest public servant, to whom they have done a great injustice and injury. The British Minister at Washington was guilty of the further absurdity of sending to Mobile, as act ing consul, a gentleman accredited by the Northern Government. Mr. Davis consulted his own dignity in at once declining to recognise any such nomina tion within the limits of his government. Since then we have had no British consul at Mobile. There is no one to protect British citizens within the boundaries of the Southern States, no represen tative of England who can enter into relations of any sort with the Confederate Government. The imbecile obstinacy of the Ministry has utterly cut us off from all communication, direct or indirect, with six millions or brave and enterprising men who are most anxious to extend to Englishmen the right hand of fellowship, and whose manful defence of their liberties and vindication of their rights of British ancestry and kindred have rendered them most worthy of a consideration which has been scornfully denied them. The day is not far distant when rulers and people will have cause to lament this error, and seek in vain to atone for it by a late repentance. , &,/S 7, C PRICE .4d. STAMPED,....Sd. MELANCHOLY CASE.—Thereds a very melancholy case now before the Chief Baron at the Kildare Assizes :—Patrick Cosgrave, a relieving officer, was indicted for the manslaughter of Rosanna Doy le. It appeared from the evidence that there are a number of unfortunate omen (to which class the deceased belonged), who live i w n the bushes and behind the ditches in the neighbourhood of the Currah Camp; that they live there day and night, unless in case of sickness, when they go to the poor-house until they are well, and then retul n to their old quarters among the bushes, and their old mode of life. The Acts for Relief of the Destitute Poor in Ireland afford the means of sup plying relief out of the house in all cases of sickness which prevent removal and in cases of urgent necessity, and re lieving officers are appointed in every district with a fixed salary, whose duty it is to inquire after such cases, and afford immediate relief. Rosanna Doyle was sick at this place, near the camp, on Saturday, the 17th October last, and was unable to go to the workhouse. A policeman learned this, and left a note with the prisoner informing him of her state. Re did not go to see her, but on Sunday morning went to one Bergan, who kept a donkey and cart for the removal to the workhouse of sick people, and gave a ticket of admission for Rosanna Doyle, telling him to bring the donkey for her. Bergen did not go till Monday, when he found her in a very sad state, lying on the bare g ro und by some furze, a n d without any covering except an old sack. It took nearly two hours to get to the workhouse, and rain poured on the poor creature the whole way. As soon as the hospital nurse saw her she feared that she was either in a fit or dying, and had the doctor sent for immediately. Not more than ten minutes elapsed from the time she arrived at the workhouse until she died. Persons who have been in the habit of paying weekly as borrowers of Sewing Machines will do well to apply at once and become members of Messrs. Watts and Co.'s Sewing Machine Clubs. 13y so doing they will not only save the money they now foolishly throw away, but at the same time secure to themselves the possession of one of the best an 3 most celebrated sewing machines in the werld.

PROSPECTUS, The Directors having receivedlie support of eminent capi talists, and the c, operation of many of the leading firms in thi country connected with public works, are alre4dy in a position o announce that they have secured a i,usiness which will of itself yield a large return on the capital, without reckoning the probable profit which they will also derive from the further operations they have in view. The spirit of enterprise which has now manifested itself in foreign countries, with the encouragement given by the various Governments to the construction of works of public utilty, leave no doubt th , t there is still ample scope for an undertaking of this nature. Having secured not only the influence of those connected with banking establishments in many of the principal cities of the continent, but the acquisi tion of business, whLh will form the basis of immediate profitable transactions, the Directors have no hesitation in introducing this Association to the public. The general objects of this company are the same as those of other compan es of a kindred nature which have boen lately started in this country, and which, by the judicious emOoyment of capital, h ve been enabled to secure for the shareholders such large dividends. The company will negotiate :- 1. Loans and concessions for railways, and other public works abroad. 2. Th y will advance money on approved securities, as well as purchase and ne_ otiate the same upon commission. 3. They will lend money to contractors of position end responsibility, and facilitate the construction of important public works, vrospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the temporary offices of the company, 2, Copthall chambebrokers, rs, Angel-court, Throgmorton-street, or at the offices of the Messrs. J. and J. Whitehead, 8, Moorgate street. This form must be delivered entire to the bankers of the company; and, after payment of dep. sit, the application to be retained by them.

The gnat Trunk Railway from Vienna, in the direction of the frontier of Moldavia, is at present complete as far as Lemberg . . e commun , cation is effected by means of two lines. The first being te Nrthern Railway, f Lrom V,enna to Cracow ; the second, o the Carl -Ludwig Raway, from Cracow to Lemberg , . The first of these lines pays about 1r cen. upon 861. its ita capital. The second was completed onl4 per cent. Upon its capital. The second was completed only at the e t nd of and 1 but since its opening has paid 8 per c ent. u p on its capl, consequently has never required to claim the guarantee of 5 per cent. accorded to it by the Austrian Government. The present line is the continuation from Lemberg to Czernowit z, near the Moldavian frontier. The concession has been granted by the Austrian Government on terms un usually favourable to the company undertaking it. The proposed railway, enter ng into the heart ..f the grain and cattle-producing district whence the Car -Ludwig, ,e obtains its most important traffic, and being onstru .ted at a very considerably less cost, promises t o be more profitable than its neighbour. The continuance of the line through Mo davia to Galatz, on the Danube for which a concession has recently been granted by the Chambers of the Pei cipaliti a), must neces sarily add largely to the profits of the Lemberg-Czernowii z Railway, which will thus form an intenial i art in an un broken and direct railway communication between the Baltic, the German Ocean, and the Black Sea. ri he concession, the duration of which is ninety years, sti pulates for the comment ment of the works previous to the Ith January, 1E65, and for their completion within three years ; but provision is made for extension cf these period in caqe ot political or financial crisis. The Government guarantee a fixed sum of £150,000 in silver money as a net annual revenue of the line. The sum thus guaranteed by the Government, after pro vidin,c for the payment ot interest at 5 per cent. on the Bonds, and for an annual sinking fund, will leave a clear 7 per cent. applicable to the share capital. The sinki , .g fund will be annually applied by lot to the redemption of the Bonds and Shares at par. The proprietors of the Shares thus, front time to time, redeemed will, for each share, receive a certifi cate entitling the bearer to a participation, during the re maining term of the concession, in all the profits of the Com pany exceeding 5 per cant. on the original capital. A contract, which will be adopted by the Company, has been entered into by the concessionaires with Mr. Brassey for a sum of £2,450,000. This contract provides for the construction of the rai*way in accordance with the terms of the concession, and for stock ing the same with r, lling stock. It includes all the preli minary expenses of acquiring the concession and forming tee Company ; it makes provision for interest during con struction on paid-up capital at the rate of 6 per eery. per annum ; and it covers an ample reserv e for the expenses of management until the railway shall be opened for public traffic. The concession confers the requisite power to form a So ciete Anonyme with Shares to b' ar, , r, whereby the liability of the subscriber will be limited to the amount of 23 per cent of the nominal amount of their Shares. The capital of the Societe Anonyme w ill be £2,450,000; to be issued, £1,20:',0)0 in Bonds, and £1,250,010 in Shares of £2O each. The Bonds have already been taken. Preparatory to the formation of the Societe Anonyme (which cannot be definitively constituted according to Aus trian law until 25 per cent. of the share capital has been paid up), the Lemberg-Czernowitz Railway Company has been formed as a limite liabilit comany, the shares in which will be exchanged d for Shares p of a like denomination in the Societe Anonyme. A copy of the &rticles of Association,of the concession, and or the statutes under which it is proposed to constitute the Societe Anonyme, can be inspected at the Offices of the Soli citors, 46, Parliament•street. Applications for Shares must be made in the annexed form, addressed to the Directors of the International Fin ,n -clal si,cietv (Limited), and of the Anglo-Austrian Bank, but no application will be considered, unless accompanied by the receipt of Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co., or ot t• e Anglo-Aus tri .n Bank, Vienna, for Li per Share on the number of Shares applied for. This sum will be returned in t,e event of the application not be;ng acceded to, and, if an allotment is made, it will be applied towards the payment of £1 per Share then due.

THE GLASGOW WATERWORKS.—At the usual monthly meeting of the Water Committee, held on Monday —the Lord Provost presiding—it was reported that the Lord Provost and magistrates had visited the Gorbals Waterworks on Saturday, March 19th, and the Mugdock Reservoir on Friday the 25th of March, and that both were found to be in a state of apparent complete safety. It was, - however, agreed that while those visits enabled them to see that the whole works were apparently in a most satisfactory state, it was expedient, looking to the recent calamity at Sheffield,to have the whole embankments connected with the Loch Katrine Works, and also the Gorbal Works, minutely inspected, and reported on by Mr. Bateman and Mr. Gale, along with some eminent civil engineer, so that the public safety might as far as possible be secured. Mr. Gale (the com pany's engineer) was authorised to proceed to Sheffield forthe purpose of examining the Bradfield Reservoir, and acquiring such information as might be useful to him in the discharge of his duties. The second quarterly report by Mr. Gale stated that the quantity of water sent into the city during January, February, and March last was 18,400,000 gallons a day on the average from the Loch Katrina Works, and 3,400,000 g.,llons a day from the Gorbals Works—in all 21,800,000 gallons a day, being 2,000,000 gallons a day more than in the corresponding three months of 1863. • The high floods on the Clyde on the 14th and 15th of March had car ried away a part of the river bank at both the Craston-hill and the Dalmarnock Works, and the repairs required would be somewhat extensive. It was supposed that the increased velocity of the river during floods, through the deepening an d widening operations below the Bruomielaw, had been principally the cause of the late abrasions of the river banks. v•AScotonan. TlMES.—Successive telegrams have for three days told throughout Europe that the Daniell city of Sonderbnrg is under a process of deliberate destruc tion. First it was announced that the Prussians had, without any previous warring, or any notice to remove the women and children, commenced throeing shells into the city. Next. day London and Paris and Berlin and Vienna heard that nearly a third part of the town had been burnt down, but that the cannonade had ceased. Then it was told that the intermission had not been of long continu ance; and the succeeding account was that Sonder borg had been bombarded for 48 hours, and that 80 townspeople, women and children, had been killed or wounded, and that the city was then deserted. If it be true that the non-combatants who were not killed are all driven out, it is, perhaps, of less im portance that the bombardment should now be stayed; but we have no reason to be certain that it is not at present going on, and the probabilities are that Sonderborg is still being battered into a mass of rubbish by way of practice to the Prussian ar tillery. This is not a fable imported from the other end of the earth, it is a reality passing before the eyes of Europe. These people, who are killing women and children, and burning their habitations, and these poor wretches, who are being burnt in their homes like bees in their hive, are amovg us. We can almost hear the guns that are doing the butchery ; we might communicate by telegraph in a few minutes with the actors. The King of Prussia, or the Emperor of Austria, or the Empe ror of the French could in an hour send a tele graphic message into the Prussian camp which would explode with greater power than any shell there and blow away the seige itself. This story of death and wounds, and rushing away for safety, is not a fictitious tale of woe, to be mourned over in maudlin tones of sympathy ; it is an acting atrocity, which might have been stopped. It is a continuing series of cruelties which Europe has allowed to go on under the eyes of all, and which is even now pagsing without a protest. It is a hard, lisugreeable fact. It would be easy to dress up a rhetorical picture of the scenes that are occurring in the city of Sonderborg, and it would not be diffi cult to imagine in horrible detail the events of a bombarded city. But we do not care to appeal to people who must be moved by sensation writing, and can only act upon sensation impulses. We hope that the great bulk of the people of Europe will be able without any such aid to c mee to the conclusion that as the bombardment of a city must be either a dreadful necessity or an execrable crime, the bom bardment of Sonderborg, being without necessity, can only be a crime. It may be unavoidable to bombard a city, or even to raze it to the earth. It war did not pursue its objects without consulting the dictates of humanity, there could be no war. If a city stands in the way of the object of a war, it would be useless to protest against its destruction. Such an act must be, no doubt, the most ungrateful task to which a soldier can be set ; but if the necessity occurs he must do it. It is scarcely pos sible, however, to imagine a case in which a . Com mander can be placed under the necessity of choosing between his duty towards his cause and his duty to give such full notice of his intention to destroy a city as may enable the non-combatants to leave it. There are no examples nowadays of a city being shelled intentionally without full previous notice being given. If some rare instance should happen in America, we apprehend that even General Butler would not undertake to defend so cruel a blunder. We accept, therefore, the statement that the bom bardment of the city of Sonderborg was commenced without notice only as a grave accusation, which it behoves the Prussians to disprove, under pain of universal condemnation, but which we shall not completely believe until the opportunity for disproof has been neglected. But let us suppose that the usual conditions of civilised warfare were observed by the Germans. Let us suppose that it is entirely by their own fault that these obstinate Danish women and children, clinging pertinaciously to their firesides, have been killed and wounded. Let us believe that the intention of the Prussian went no further than to drive them to bivouac in the clear northern air while he levelled their houses for some strategic purposes. Even this mild exercise of the rights of war would seem to require for its defence that it should not be done in the mere wantonness of power, or in the mere lust for the infliction of human suf fering. It needs not, perhaps, a good object, or a moral object, or a wise object to rescue a military operation from theeategory of a mere odious cruelty, but still it ought to have some object. What possi ble object, however, can the Prussians serve by de stroying this city, and the people inside it ? The war itself has ceased.to have an object. Every shot that is fired is fired in pure waste ; every death that occurs is a human sacrifice at a shrine which has not even an idol. There is not only no object in this war, but there is not an excuse for any military operations of the commonest kind. It may be ima gined, perhaps, that, even without any defensible military object, if two squadrons of Danish and of Prussian horse were to meet in the open, the instinct of fight, old hatreds, and recent emulations I might send them on each other cleaving and pierc ing. Hot blood and high passion would excuse this in the eyes of Europe, although, after the con flict was over, the residuum of all this effervescence would be sad and repulsive enough. But to pour shot and shell into a town for forty-eight hours, to burn houses, and mutilate a wretched little village crowd, all in cold blood, and to do this when there was nothing to be decided by war, and the whole matter had already been submitted to arbitration — fie upon it—it is an abuse of the privilege of a belli gerent to be brutal. How is it that such a waste of wickedness is committed? The Germans are not naturally a cruel race, loving cruelty for its own sake. Why should they inflict such useless woes upon these poor Panes? Perhaps, a reason may be found in the pretension of the Prussians to be not only a very military but also a very philosophical nation; Their military philosophy takes the form of ingenious, subtle inventions. They have artillery cast on the most profound philosophical principles ; they have strategic problems which have been only as yet half reasoned out. Beautiful in theory. their arms and their tactics have not for half a cm• tury had the advantage of actual exercise. These poor Danes are to the Prussians what his dogs were to John Hunter and his frogs to Orfila. They pro pose to practise vivisection upon them. Up to this time the result has not been especially satisfactory. The rifled cannon may be very good, and, indeed, the best opinion is that they are very good ; the breech-loading rifle is supposed to have answered very well in the field, and some of us are rather envying the Prussians their invention ; but, rot withstanding this, the character of the Prussian army was never at a lower ebb than it is at this moment, and lookers-on are apt to calculate with some dismay that if they can do no better than this against a little victim, what would they be able to effect against a gigantic oppressor ? Is there no one to lift up his voice against this European scandal? Is it only when they have something ridiculous to propose, or some fictitious enormity to denounce, or something preposterous to ask for, that the gene rous sympathies of our Humanitarians ate awake and active? Here is a case of wilful waste of bloodshed, it is capable of being whipped up into any quantity of froth, and it is red enough to create and to warrant more than the necessary point of horror. Why is it that this absolutely unnecessary warfare is going on without a protest ? Here is a legitimate opportunity for the interposition of the public opinion of Europe. Voices raised in this cause would have their echo, and words well spoken would have their result. Shall it be said that while every baseless story that finds its way from the ex treme East has its rhetorical exponent, a city in the very midst of Europe can be deliberately pounded into dust while no one calls attention to the per sistent outrage, and no one makes a call upon our human sympathies ? We have never taken shave e have with the professional Huma nitarians, but we no hesitation in this instance. It is not a proposi tion to be argued, but a truth self-evident, that the continuation of this bloodshed in Denmark after the Conference has been agreed upon is not only 0 European scandal, but a great public crime. HERALD . —We receive every day fresh and more painful illustrations of the neutrality of the British Government in the American quarrel. The impar tiality of Lord Russell is shown chiefly by a feeble compliance with every act of usurpation of the Northern taction—a concession of every point which may be claimed to their advantage —a cringing de ference to the tyranny of the most disreputable Government of modern times. Whenever there is any matter at issue between North and South in which the British Ministry is compelled to decide, there seems to be no question of its decision being given in favour of the only Power which it allows to be in existence between Canada and Mexico. I is difficult to say what the Northern people have done to deserve this at our hands, that while the world at large recognises in North America two Powers contending on very equal terms, each exer cising in their own territories the functions of sove reignty,at our officials should yet speak of the Govern ment Washington as the Government of the
